Genetic organisation, mobility and predicted functions of genes on integrated, mobile genetic elements in sequenced strains of Clostridium difficile.

The CTn 1 -like element in QCD-23M63 carries a gene (3082), the predicted product of which gives highly significant PSI-BLAST scores with proteins belonging to the family of N-terminal (Ntn) hydrolases that includes bile salt hydrolases, β-lactam acylases and N-acyl homoserine lactone acylases ( Table S1 ), however none of the hits identified by BYPASS are experimentally verified.
